Why do sunspots make the temperature go up? Seems like having a bunch of black blotches all over the sun should make the temperature go down

>>
>>16276923
>>16279649
IIRC it's because more sunspots means more solar faculae, which is where the brightness increase comes from (i.e. the increase in faculae brighten the sun more than the increase in sunspots dims it)

why, though, i have no idea. i've never been able to find a good explanation for what causes solar faculae, so maybe it's unknown.

>Why do sunspots make the temperature go up?
during periods of sunspots the sun is more active and the magnetic field interferes with the the cosmic ray flux through the Earth's atmosphere. More cosmic rays increase clouds, less cosmic rays fewer clouds. Not saying the cosmic rays themselves are responsible for cloud nucleation, it could be the cosmic rays and the particale spray from colisions impacting dust, other chemicals create more clouds. The relationship between cosmic ray flux and clouds was established decades ago.

this is the correct explanation
it's also very interesting because we have a long historical record (~400 years I think) of sunspots since they are easily observable, and you can see the strong correlation with sunspots and global temperatures

I believe this general mechanism was proposed by a physicists named Svensmark and that the core physics were confirmed valid in tests at CERN. not super certain that's where testing was done but pretty Sure that was his name

Imagine that tomorrow humanity collectively decided to work on designing and constructing a new telescope in space. Magnum opus of humanity's space exploration journey. The US spends close to a trillion buckaroos on their military yearly. Imagine that for just 1 year all of the worlds global powers pool their military budget towards this telescope. Brightest engineers, mathematicians, physicists, logisticians are collected from the masses and a preparatory 10 year education course is given. At the end of the 10 year mark hierarchy is established and work begins on the telescope. What could we produce with current day technology with limitless budget like this? Can we get detailed high resolution images of exoplanets?

>Can we get detailed high resolution images of exoplanets?
yes, but it wouldn't be very useful data since the pictures of the planets would be images of them tens of thousands of year ago due to the sheer distance between the two points. A planet which is super green and full of life may appear to be a magma world to us, and a planet which is destroyed and empty may look lush to us.
>>
>>16283859
>trillion buckaroos
The brightest engineers will get a few 100k each for their efforts. The other $999990000000 will revert to the military.
>>
>>16284437
10k years or even a million years doesn't mean much about life as it takes a long time for life to appear and become complex. So if you see a lush green planet 100k light years away even if you see an image from 100k years ago the odds are good that the planet is still teeming with life because if it got like that in the first place then conditions on the planet were favorable for billions of years and a 100k in the past or future won't show a drastic change unless there's been a world destroying event which should be rare considering the planet was fine for so long to sustain complex life

Density and surface area (i.e. wrinkling) matter more. Indians have small brains because they're smaller people in a densely populated area, some of which may consist of malnourished people. I would guess that Africans in developed nations have larger brains and other Asians in areas traditionally associated with high IQs (i.e. China, Japan) also have small brains.

>oh no ice sheets are shrinking during an interglacial period
how low does your IQ need to be to expect ice sheets to grow during an interglacial period?
>>
>>16280935
Well yes, but anon has a point. Just because it’s interglacial period doesn’t mean we get to do a whole bunch of shit. Ocean acidification is only one of the things we’re doing wrong, and the climate is a chaotic physical system. Meaning it has chaos and sensitivity to changes; displace it from the usual sustaining feedback loops and suddenly we’re out of the “interglacial period” and in the Permian Great Dying within like a century.

Or maybe not. I don’t know, go ask the climate scientists. Oh wait, they’re all saying yes. Maybe I should believe them, or maybe just push it off as “narrative”.

What are temperatures on Venus when taken from a level in the atmosphere equal in pressure to sea level on Earth?
>>
>thread active since monday
>still no agreement on what the ideal gas is
I say it's helium. Atomic number 2, a nice even number, also the first prime. Inert, meaning it's so confident of its idealness that it refuses to change. And it's made inside stars, so it's awesome.
>>
>>16281985
Most of the helium in the universe is of primordial origin rather than being the product of stellar nucleosynthesis
>>
Volume depends on temperature.
By choosing a certain volume you therefore only have one possible temperature with everything else kept equal.

High pressure alone doesn't imply only a high temperature can satisfy the equation.

Equations don't necessarily tell you causal relationships, you can make a simple equation tying someone's weight to their volume but the cause of someone being fat isn't because they have a large volume it's because they eat too much.

the apiary bees were never the problem. wild bees were.
and America has actually been changing land use for the best in the last few years. it's the largest carbon sink in the country, too. so better land use equals better environment for bees. since they're still insects that reproduce very fast, populations can rebound quickly.
